I stopped by the Take 2 Markets event at Northcote Town Hall today. And I was delighted to find it was a bit of a vintage treasure trove! But firstly, I finally got to meet the lovely Rina Chia (you can read her profile here). It was great to finally meet her and put a(…)
I overheard a conversation at a party recently where a young male was making fun of op-shopping. The person he was talking to had bought a jacket from an op-shop, and he was loudly asking why anyone would want to wear second-hand clothing that most likely came from a dead person. What an ignoramus. I(…)
Well, I have a rather exciting guest making an appearance on the blog today! Rina Chia from Take 2 Markets very kindly agreed to be profiled and answer some questions. For those of you who may be out of the loop: Take 2 Markets is Melbourne’s premier recycled fashion event. Take 2 Markets hosts a variety of(…)
The Prahran Mission op-shop is a rather exciting one to visit. It’s located on Chapel Street, right near Prahran station – and dare I say it, where a lot of the more ‘lively’ Melbournian characters lurk. No joke, while I was in the store some sounds came into the store that made me believe (from(…)
What a delightful little store this is. I actually stumbled across it by accident! The whole store is bright and perky, from the front window displays filled with books, to the bright green shelves on the inside. When I visited, the volunteers were also so chipper and friendly that I couldn’t help liking(…)

Is this year passing quickly, or is it just me? Life just seems to be speeding on by. On the plus side, though: it’s nearly spring! I am starting a massive house clean-out. And the obvious place to start was my wardrobe! I actually have a walk-in wardrobe that I ‘share’ with my partner. (When(…)
I thought I would do a follow up from my post about how to sell on eBay. I actually had some difficulties with the Louis Vuitton watch I used in the example for that post. So what happened? A fraudulent buyer selected the ‘buy it now’ option on the watch, then tried to get me(…)
This is the store I mentioned earlier in the week when bemoaning some buttons that had been cut off a Chanel suit. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that they are about to renovate their store, and are having a half-price sale on most items. Be warned: a lot of(…)
Okay, I’ve been on this website far too much lately not to share it. It is very, very hilarious; and very, very “Melbourne”. Apologies to those who have already seen it. It is quite popular. If you haven’t seen it, please check out When In Melbourne. It is a great blog that really captures the(…)
